Twak Vikar includes all kinds of chronic diseases of the skin such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne caused by imbalanced Pitta Dosha and toxins (Ama) accumulated in the body in Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue) and not treated as just a surface disease.
What Is Twak Vikar According to Ayurveda?
The skin reflects the condition of the inner organs such as Rakta and Pitta Dosha. If there are Ama in the blood and Pitta Dosha is aggravated then the symptoms will be revealed on the skin.
Dosha Involved
Firstly, Pitta Dosha, and secondly, Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue). Sometimes chronic and dry Twak Vikar can be affected by Vata.
Causes (Nidan)
- Too much intake of spicy, sour, fried, and fermented food
- Poor digestion leads to Ama accumulation in the blood
- Stress and poor sleep cause Pitta Dosha imbalance
- Inherited reasons and Ritu factor
Symptoms (Lakshana)
- Itching, redness, inflammation
- Scaling, eruption or dry skin
- Frequent eruptions, especially during hot season
- Discoloration
Ayurvedic Treatment Approach
Treatment includes blood purification by Virechana (purgation) and Raktamokshana in some cases. Also, it consists of Pitta Dosha balancing herbs and application of Lepa. See our Twak Roga Shuddhi Chikitsa program.
Herbs Traditionally Used
